Description

The 2nd day of the Festival of Matzos, Day 1 of the Omer

לֵיל בּ דְּחַג הַמַּצּוֹת, קְרִיאַת שְׁמַע שֶׁעַל הַמִּטָּה כְּמוֹ בְּכָל יוֹם טוֹב

On the second night of Pesach, the Prayer before Retiring at Night is recited as on other festivals.

גַּם מִי שֶׁאֵין לוֹ אָב, רַחֲמָנָא לִצְלָן

Even a person whose father is (G‑d forbid) no longer alive

אוֹמֵר לִפְנֵי מַה נִּשְׁתַּנָּה

should introduce the Four Questions by saying:

טאַטעֶ אִיךְ וועֶל בּאַ דִיר פְרעֶגעֶן פִיר קַשְׁיוֹת

Tatte, ich vel ba dir fregn fir kashes — “Father, I’m going to ask you four questions.”

וְסְמוּכוֹת לָזֶה

Support for this practice can be found

שֶׁגַּם מִי שֶׁאֵין לוֹ אָב וְאֵם, רַחֲמָנָא לִצְלָן

Even a person whose parents are (G‑d forbid) no longer alive

צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר בְּבִרְכַּת הַמָּזוֹן

should say, in the Grace after Meals.

הָרַחֲמָן הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת אָבִי מוֹרִי כו' אִמִּי מוֹרָתִי כו

“May the Merciful One bless my father and teacher…, and my mother and teacher….”
